He also played 22 One Day Internationals He began his career in the 1980–81 season with Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield as an understudy to Rod Marsh.
Zoehrer made his first class debut for Western Australia in November 1980, aged 19 years old, in a game against the touring India side.
In late January 1986 Zoehrer was picked as Australia's wicketkeeper for the 1986 tour of New Zealand, replacing Wayne Philips, who continued to play as batter.
Chris Broad, who batted for England that summer, later recalled "Tim Zoehrer did not bother us on the field: we would laugh at his histrionics as he tried to cover up his inadequacies behind the stumps with a load of bluster.
"[16] Zoehrer claims he was replaced as first-choice keeper after a personality clash with Australian coach and newly appointed selector, Bob Simpson.
[18] He played his final One Day International in 1994, at Perth vs South Africa, seven years after his previous appearance again as a replacement for a rested Healy.
Zoehrer was a successful and popular keeper for Western Australia with a state record of 360 dismissals and also took 38 first-class wickets with his leg break bowling.
He was controversially replaced by former NSW's Adam Gilchrist at the beginning of the 1994–95 season and never played first class or list-A cricket again.
